"A small ancient village, with few houses and a little church. Giacomo is the brother of Giaiet and he never got married. He is called “Cartunè” as he carries the wine with his horse. He’s also a barber, a cobbler and a surveyor. He never rests: he loves to work in his grandfather’s vineyard of Dolcetto".
